"That's simple, Baka! Because legends never die! And want to know more? I'm not alone!"
From the sky, Bakugo arrived with an explosion and brought All Might safely.
"Young Bakugo... Young Akiyama... Oro... you..." All Might muttered.
"We'll win!" Bakugo exclaimed.
Oro grabbed Bakugo and flew away with him. Satoru was running behind them with Air Walk.
"What are those lights?" A guy was looking at the live streaming online.
"That's... Photokinesis Quirk?" said a kid.
"You mean..." said another boy with shark-like features.
"He's back!" said a kid with pink hair. "Oro is back! Our Number One Hero is back! And the ex-Villain and the one who was kidnapped by the League of Villains are with him!"
Oro, Bakugo, and Satoru leapt on a roof and placed All Might there.
"Hey, that's him! It's Oro!" said another guy. "And... who are the other guys?"
"Bakugo! Akiyama!" exclaimed a girl with a straw hat.
"Sorry if I scared you all," Oro said, turning to face All For One's figure in the sky. He was panting heavily. "I really thought I was done for, but thanks to Edgeshot, I'm alive and... not well. Just alive."
"Young Bakugo! Oro! Are you okay?" All Might asked.
"I should be the one to ask you, Sensei," said Oro. "You're talking about my condition, but have you seen yourself?"
Oro spat blood.
"I should ask you this, anyway," Edgeshot, in his smallest version, spoke up.
"Edgeshot!" All Might said.
"I expelled the blood you had accumulated," said Edgeshot. "Are you feeling a bit better, Oro?"
"Hell yeah," said Oro. "Thanks for letting me leave, Senpai."
He pointed at Satoru. "Ototo. That's the plan."
"Now, I'm gonna arrest and defeat the remaining minor Villains. You and Young Bakugo must fight All For One and protect All Might."
"Aniki, you're badly injured..." Satoru said. "You're not supposed to..."
"That's okay," Oro said. "If I don't get into action, then who will? I'm the Number One Hero, after all."
Oro placed a hand on Bakugo's shoulder. "Young Bakugo. I'm counting on you, too."
Bakugo nodded. "I won't disappoint you, Oro-san."
"I don't think All For One's gonna wait for us to finish our conversation, so it's better if we get into action," Oro said. "Good luck, you two."
Oro disappeared from view at supersonic speed.
"Dynamight..." Satoru said. "My brother entrusted us with a mission. We can't fail him."
"We won't," said Bakugo. "But my arm is badly injured."
"Even if... I was expecting to find myself facing All For One! Who the fuck is that little guy? I'm going to destroy him!"
"It is All For One, Young Man," said All Might. "I can't move due to Bloodcurdle, so please come here. Give me your hand."
Bakugo got closer to All Might and kneeled to him.
"That's not functioning anymore, but... that's all I can give you," All Might gave Bakugo the last piece of his armor. "We're all counting on you both. Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. Dark Matter."
Bakugo smiled.
"Dynamight..." Satoru said. "Let's do this."
All For One... you're done for, thought Satoru.
The boy jolted in the air with all the strength he had and appeared in front of All For One. "This is where my redemption concludes, All For One!"
BOOM!
Thanks to his Detonation Quirk, Satoru generated a dark explosion on All For One's face. "If that one's not able to finish you, then we'll do it on our own!"
"Hey, wait for me, Dark!" Bakugo said. "And don't use Detonation in front of me!"
"That's exactly what I'm going to do!" Satoru exclaimed. "I'm gonna use my explosion too just to piss you off!"
The explosion hurt a lot. Too much. But... I have to use this collateral effect properly!
"You know, Dynamight," said Satoru. "During my training, I didn't only train my Quirks, but I also trained to infuse them with my Darkness!"
"So this means Umbrakinesis, your birth Quirk, is now infused in every single one of your Quirks?" Bakugo asked.
"That's precisely right!" Satoru exclaimed. "If I have to be honest, maybe it happened during the Paranormal Liberation War, and I didn't notice, but whatever, let's kick All For One's ass now!"
That's enough, All For One thought. I'll handle it later.
If we want to win... thought Satoru. We have to... go beyond!
All For One ran away.
"So? Am I still your toy?" Satoru ran after him in the sky. Bakugo followed him.
He's not as strong as he thinks he is, only because he has All For One, thought All For One. Compared to Endeavor or Dark Shadow, he's not that strong. I'll handle him later.
Now I get it, thought Bakugo. It's pain. The sweat drops I've accumulated in my palms cause me pain while they run all over my body!
Bakugo jolted forward and reached All For One. "It hurts! I'm too fast! I can't stop!"
Bakugo smashed against a piece of the environment and flew in the air.
Who the hell is this guy? thought All For One.
"Good job doing the bait, Dynamight!" Satoru appeared above All For One. "Now take this!"
Satoru punched All For One in the face and sent him crushing against a building.
Now I get it... All For One realized. It's his fault. It's Satoru's fault. He betrayed us... he always goes where it suits him, that asshole!
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, MATO!" All For One.
"Have you finally gone senile, Baka?" Satoru asked. "Mato doesn't exist anymore! My name is Satoru Akiyama!"
After everything I've done for him, he repays me by siding with the Heroes... he's a profiteer! And that other guy... he looks so damn similar to Kudo...
"Omni-Factor Unleash... All For One Goal!"
"Dynamight, be careful," said Satoru. "He's going for broke. This attack will probably make him a newborn again."
"He thinks he can win with so little effort?" Bakugo said. I won't be a burden to you anymore, Satoru... nor to you, Izuku...
"DODGE THAT, YOUNG MEN!" All Might screamed.
Just when All For One was getting close to the two guys, something hit him repeatedly.
What did they do? I didn't see them doing anything... All For One thought. His attack fell on the floor before it could reach Satoru and Bakugo.
"Rain powers down my attacks," Bakugo said. "So, before launching them, I wrapped explosive drops with normal sweat drops, then Dark Matter infused them with darkness, retarding their explosion, assuming that an internal stimulus would have caused them to detonate!"
"Do you want to know how this is called, All For One?" Satoru said. "It's called teamwork, but you can't know, since everyone hates you!"
"You know, they've always praised us for our good instincts!" Bakugo exclaimed.
"Remember this, All For One!" said Satoru. "You're the one who gave me the power I have now!"
All Might-san said that the more damage he suffers, the younger he gets.
"This... is my story!" said All For One. "Stay back, background characters!"
"Howitzer..." Bakugo managed to dodge All For One's attacks and touch his face. "Impact!"
"Now it's my turn!" Satoru reached them. "The final blow is mine!"
"The honor is yours, Dark Matter!" said Bakugo.
Satoru reached All For One and filled him with explosions. "SHUT THAT FUCKING MOUTH OF YOURS! I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOU ANYMORE!"
No, this can't be! All For One thought. How can he make me struggle...? He's my creation, I can't lose! I refuse to die at the hands of my own creation!
All For One, that's not your story, Satoru thought. It never was. I've never been alone. The friends I've made at U.A., my brother, my dreams, the second chance I was given... there's only one person I've never liked within the League of Villains: you. So I want you to know this, All For One...
"THIS IS OUR STORY, NOT YOURS!"
BOOM!
Satoru released an incredibly powerful explosion that engulfed All For One and made him explode. Satoru jolted back from the recoil, but Bakugo grabbed him in time.
"You did it, Dark Matter!" Bakugo exclaimed.
"No," said Satoru. "We did it. Together. If I had been alone, I would never have defeated him."
Bakugo nodded and smiled a little.
A few... steps... closer... All For One was now reduced to a crawling infant. Satoru and Bakugo leapt beside him.
"Urusendayo, All For One," said Satoru. "You're annoying and noisy, even as an infant."
"You haven't vanished yet?" Bakugo said. He spat blood. That's cold...
Satoru stepped closer. "I've finally gotten my revenge, All For One. For my entire life, I've been manipulated by you and used as a tool, but now, that same tool whom you gave your own power is standing right before him after kicking your ass."
All For One tried one final, desperate attempt by generating a spike from his mouth, but Satoru blocked it effortlessly.
"Begone," he said as he shattered the spike after infusing it with darkness. "Time to go beddy-bye, All For One!"
The darkness spread inside All For One's body and gave him the last damage he needed to vanish. No! No! No! No! Hate you! Hate you! Hate you! Hate you!
All For One was reduced to a cell.
"Now... only Tomura remains," said Satoru. "Dynamight, rest now. I'm not done fighting yet."
Satoru teleported to where Izuku was fighting Shigaraki after partially regenerating his wounds.
Bakugo lifted his fist in the air, but he fell on the floor shortly after. Pity... I wanted to win standing like All Might.
Bakugo lifted his fist in the air while lying on the floor. Now it's up to you... Satoru.
